[W126 Coupe] Instrument Repair --- Off Topic

Jim:

You may want to look at the MBCoupes Parts and Services Suppliers list.  There are several Instrument Cluster shops that you can call to see what's involved.  Sounds like you are going to have some great fun with the restoration.

   Greetings all-------- 
  In addition to my 500SEC and 560SEC, I also have a W113 280SL which is presently in the midst of restoration, and some customizing. In the course of the project, I will need to modify the gauges with some new markings. Basically, I'll incorporate the left-hand W108/W109 (250SE through 300SEL 6.3) multi-instrument dial (fuel/oil press./water temp) gauge and install FOUR gauges (oil temp, oil press, volts, and water temp) (using the "idiot" light area at the bottom of the dial for the fourth gauge). Some of the needles also will sweep the opposite direction. Altogether, I'll need to repaint the lines and numbers on the dials, the legends (water temp, etc.), and replace the non-MB needles with MB needles. 

  My question: Is there an excellent source for custom painting of dials on automotive gauges? 

  Thanks, all; any leads would be most appreciated.
